A former presidential spokesman, Doyin Okupe, has disclosed that he and ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo believes that nothing positive can come out of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL.
Okupe disclosing this while admitting he was once sceptical
about NNPCL’s ability to deliver meaningful results.
In a statement he issued to mark the NNPCL Group Chief
Executive Officer, Mele Kyari’s 60th birthday, Okupe apologized for his past
criticisms.
According to Kyari: “I write today with a deep sense of
humility and genuine admiration for the remarkable achievements of Mr. Mele
Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation Limited (NNPCL), as he marks his 60th birthday.
“It is no secret that I, along with many others, was once a
vocal critic of NNPCL and its leadership. In fact, like my former boss,
President Olusegun Obasanjo, I shared the belief that nothing positive could
come from the NNPCL, and I openly expressed scepticism over its ability to deliver
on its promises.
“I was, at that time, dismissive of the leadership of Mr.
Mele Kyari, and I even laughed at the very idea of NNPCL’s creation.”
